INCANDESCENT VAPOR-BURN ER.

Application filed January 6, 1900. Serial Fn. E93. (Ilo model.)

To all whom it may concern: by the burner G.

Behind on of the invention, which will the latter partition is a filling of brass or iron killed in the art to whichitapfilings at F5, which iills the depending portion F' and one of the h enduit. Aspace is left between erator. The latter is heated by burning a nd the said pipe to permit the small quantity of alcohol or other inhammeth suicient air to give the bie tiuid beneath it until the gasolene in such rning qualities.

Furtherthe burner vaporizes the gasolene admitted leading to the burner, through to the generator, and thus a constant supply is forced, is usually cool, and ofthe gasis maintained. The dependinglimb through it is cooled and F' provides a large heating It is my purpose in the filings contained th view of these disadvantages to furnish means which the gasolene flows. for keeping a steady and unaltered ow of the ilingsfuruish a large amonntof heat, and ntaining an even light and the vapor is quickly formed thereby.

By this arrangement strong drafts or air-currents cannot reach the vapor except through the holes, which are of small size, so that the air will not enter except by the suction caused by Ihe flow of vapor. A steady light is thus kept at all times. A further and important advantage of the said sleeve is the transmission of heat through its walls from the generator to the tube J. The latter is thus kept heated, and the vapor passing therethrough is kept hot, and consequently burns with a much better and whiter light.

The construction of the generatorand sleeve and the other portions of the lamp may be altered without sacrificing the spirit ot' my invention, and I may not use the depending limb F' of the generator. The portions which I value and wish to claim as my own are the peculiar shape of the generator with its filling, the lsleeve for preventing variations of the light, and the heating ol' the tube J from the generator to improve the quality of the gas.

ln Fig. Il I illustrate the cross-section of the generator-tube, showing the gauze partition therein, to which, however, I lay no claim.

In Fig. 4 I show a plan view of the sleeve F to better illustrate the openings therein.

I wish to emphasize the advantage of increasing the heating area of the inner walls of the generator by providing the projections K, which, though I have described them as screw-threads, maybe formed in any manner und of any shape to accomplish the desired end. A mauerof great importance also and one Ivalnc very highly is the connectingslceve L between the gas-tube J and the generator, whereby the former is heated by the conducting properties of the metal. It is well known that by heating gas just before it is burned a better quality of gas results and a whiter light is obtained. Besides this advantage the closed tube prevents the gas being cooled and the interference of the vapor-jet by drafts. Thelimb F'maybeprovided with inner projections, as well as the generator-tube proper, if desired. The metallic tillings for these portions are described as tilinge, but borings would be preferable, pcrbape, and tbeyare somewhat large and leave larger spaces for the passage of the fluid. These points,however, are not important.

In F g. 4 the sleeve L is split at one side, whereby a tight driving fit may be had on both the generator and the connection of the pipe J. This will assure perfect contact for condiicting heat and will make the process of manufacture easier and cheaper than to make the stili? tube, which will have to be roamed ont to fit the parts.

Having described my invention, I claim- 1. The combination ofthe reservoirA, supply-pipes C and D, valve E, generator F, conduit J, split sleeve L between the said generator and conduit and having the apertures M above and below, and the burner G arranged and constructed as set forth.

2. In ages-lamp the combination ofthe res ervoir A, supplypipes C and D, the valve E, the generator F connected with such valve, the gas-conduitJ having the open projecting inlet opposite the said generator, a minute aperture in the adjacent end of the generator, the split sleeve L having apertures M above and below, said sleeve adapted to fit tightly on both the generator and the projection of the conduit' J for the purposes set forth.

3. The combination of a reservoir, a conducting-tube therefrom. a valve for regulating the supply of gasolene from said reservoir,

a generator comprising a tube, projections therein for increasing the heating area, a depending hollow limb on the generator, a filling of metallic particles for the purposes set forth, an aperture in the end of the generator for the ejection ol' vapor, a gas-conductor separated from the said generator for carrying the gas to the burner, a tube, or sleeve connecting the generator with the said conducting-tube for conducting heat from the former to the latter whereby the said tube is heated for the purposes set forth, and a series of openings in the sleeve for admitting air to the vapor, all substantially as set forth and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
